According to his publicist, the 57-year-old singer was found dead at his Paisley Park compound in Minnesota on the morning of April 21. Over the past few weeks, he hadn't been well—on April 15, for example, Prince had a medical emergency serious enough that his private jet make an emergency landing. At the time, his team told TMZ that he was battling the flu. He appeared at a concert the following day, however, in an effort to reassure the public he was on the mend.

Prince leaves behind an immeasurable musical legacy and a larger-than-life stage presence—known for both musical hits like "1999," "Purple Rain," and "Little Red Corvette," as well as launching the careers of many of his protégées like Carmen Electra, Vanity, and others. He will be missed.
